Pachanga is a genre of music which is described as a mixture of son montuno and merengue. This type of music has a festive, lively style and is marked by jocular, mischievous lyrics. The name came about to describe the genre in Cuba in 1959. Pachanga is also a Cuban dance style. It is danced to the downbeat of four-four time to the usual mambo offbeat music characterized by the charanga instrumentation of flutes, violins and drums.
At Mimi-Metamorphosis Dance Theatre we incorporate Pachanga into our list of dances taught at workshops only. Our next workshop will be held in January 2016. We are presently enrolling interested persons.
After seeing the dance videos, how many of you all are willing to attempt this dance?
love the history of the dance and the demo. I will certainly sign up for this class!!
